46" Plasma or LCD with the best picture.

Panasonic plasma. I've had several friends and relatives ask this same questions over the past few months. All of them bought the Panasonic Plasma that I had recommended and couldn't be happier.

Runco Crystal Portfolio™ CX-OPAL47 LCD TV there is no other to compare.

I have a Panasonic Viera 46" plasma and it is the best looking tv I have ever had. The Samsung plasma tvs are supposed to be pretty highly recommended

For LED I go to Samsung UN46D7000 or D8000 http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN46D7000-46-Inch-1080p-Silver/dp/B004O6MN7E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1331596938&sr=8-2

For Plasma I would look at Panasonic VIERA TC-P42GT25 top of the line.

Visit AVSForums and do a search after you make up your mind. They will have recommended settings so that you can get the most out of the TV and its features.

Good Luck!

I have a number of different technology TV's and just so happen to have a Panasonic 46ST30 in my mancave. Very very good picture, although sound is weak, so you need so sort of alternate sound system. 3D is also good if you don't mind those sexy goggles you have to wear. I find LCD's make me eyes tired even when I scale them down. I prefer plasma myself. I just wish I could still get Kuro's like I have...Good luck.
